Java Stack mandatory for a SAP BI system integrated with EP?

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's,

Currently we are using SAP NetWeaver 2004 s version 7.0 system for our BI.

This is integrated with the EP. But our BI system does not contain the Java Stack installed.

When we work on WAD templates and execute the template, it is automatically directed to EP portal where we can see our reports.

Here my question is do we need Java Stack for this system to use ADOBE DOCUMENT services or can it work with EP only for the web functionalities.

Any info on this is of great help.

Best Regards

Hi,

Java & ABAP both stacks are mandatery for BI7, where as for BW3.5 ABAP stack only enough,

now you are able to execute the reports in BI Portal means Java Stack is there.

EP will have seperate server and it will be linked to BI System through BEx.

HI Reddy,

We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.

As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.

1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).

2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?

hi,

SAP Recommandation is to have both stacks for BI7 to to use / run the BI7 features efffectively,

so you can ask your BASIS team for Java Stack.

Hi Kumar,

1) JAVA Stuck is required only in scenarios that you want to implement planning based on BW-IP of information broadcasting.

2) here I'm not sure. I would say it is possible but depending on version of your EP JAVA Stack.
